Hi Postmaster, This is a topic I have been thinking about recently... All religious scriptures describe the event surrounding the coming of the promised messiah/prophet as gloriously extravagant displays of what would be obvious to all, but yet the reality is that no prophet has been...

Dear Postmaster, What a wonderful confirmation for you. :) I personally have not had the bounty of that experience myself. But a few years ago at a Regional Baha'i School, one of our participants came up to me and thanked me for putting the rose scent in her room, her son and...

Hi Postmaster, Well, there are many, many books with Baha'i teachings. And yes, several are translated into English. To begin with I would recommend... "Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah" or "The Hidden Words" You can order any books through the Baha'i Distribution Service...

Oh my! What a precious little one you have. Congratulations!

"today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart." Psalms 95:7-8 "Create in me a pure heart, O my God, and renew a tranquil conscience within me, O my Hope!..." -Prayers and Meditations by Baha'u'llah, Page 248 ;)

Hi Kim, Here are just a few excerpts from the Baha'i Writings. I hope you find these useful. Loving Greetings, Amy

I believe this passage from the Baha'i Writings encompasses all of these things. Hope that is somewhat helpful. :) Have a great day! Loving Greetings, Amy

Hi Vermillion i disagree with you. I think Baha'i's are actively deepening on the Administrative Order and all it's complexities. At least the Baha'i's I know are enthusiastically involved and eager to forge ahead. Independent investigation is still a very integral part of my own journey...

Baha'i reference library Hi Brian, Just received this email article about a brand new online reference site...

That is my understanding.

Dear Pathless, We are encouraged to become familiar with the issues and vote for the candidates which most closely align with the principals of our Faith. We are encouraged to participate, but we must not affiliate ourselves with either party. Loving Greetings, Harmony

a Baha'i perspective Dear Friends, The Baha'i understanding of this topic is basically that evil is nonexistant, it is really just the absense of good. The following quotes help to explain this concept from a Baha'i perspective. Loving Greetings, Harmony

Thank you Phyllis! Peace and Blessings to you!

Hi BFG, I think you replied in the other forum I posted this in. :) -Harmony

I love that joke. :) Very appropriate!

I believe the quickening refers to the speeding up of the world and end time prophecies.

Namaste Vajra, I believe Art was just referring to the fact that individual Baha'i's have no authority by themselves, the institutions have the authority. But individuals have rights and responsibilities and can take many avenues of individual initiative. We definitely have a voice...

According to these quotes from the Baha'i writings the answer would be yes and no. Yes, by those who claim allegiance to His Cause and who's conduct contradicts that allegience. And no, by those who refuse to seek His guidance. Loving Greetings, Harmony

Hi Brian, For one thing our writings state that it will be at least 1000 years, so this leaves the door wide open it may in fact be 2000 years before the next one appears. As Baha'i's we hope that we will be more mature spiritually to be able to recognize the next manifestation, but God...

You too?!!!!! As I stated I'm not sure if the term quickening may have just been ascribed to it recently. It refers to the bible verse something along the lines of..."many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." i.e. the quickening. I can look up the actual quote when I...
